Artifacts support the mission of Holocaust Museum Houston and play an important role in teaching against the dangers of hatred, prejudice and apathy. Conservation and preservation are necessary to protect the Museum's collections for future generations.

As a visitor to Holocaust Museum Houston, you may have toured our permanent exhibit and seen first-hand the concentration camp uniform worn by a Houston-area survivor of the Holocaust, stepped inside our 1942 railcar of the type used to transport Jews to the concentration camps, or viewed the 1942 Danish boat like those used to save more than 7,500 Jews from execution.

By adopting an artifact, you help support Holocaust Museum Houston in the preventative care and treatment of all objects in our collection and helping to ensure their long-term preservation.

Adopting an artifact is a unique way to get involved with the Museum and help provide the financial funding needed to continue our mission to Stop Hate. Starting Here.

For gifts of more than $1,000, donors will be offered a “behind the scenes” tour of our permanent collection with the Director of Collections and Exhibitions.

Choose the “quick pick” option if you would like to make a $25, $50, $100, $250, $500 or $1,000 donation, rather than adopting a specific artifact.
